were pierced by missiles; his boot-sole was cut and torn by a Minie ball; but, if he himself had received any severe wound, he did not know it. At this moment Governor Harris rode up from the right, elated with his own success, and with the vindication of his Tennesseeans. After a few words, General Johnston sent him with an orderston that morning as he rode off, that if it should be necessary to communicate with him or for him to do anything, he would be found in his ambulance in bed. Governor Harris, knowing this, and how feeble General Beauregard's health was, went first to his headquarters— just in the rear of where the army had deployed into line the eal Beauregard that General Johnston had been killed. Beauregard expressed regret, and then remarked, Everything else seems to be going on well on the right. Governor Harris assented. Then, said Beauregard, the battle may as well go on. The Governor replied that he certainly thought it ought. He offered his services to Beauregar
ng round and confronted each other in line of battle. The 10th and 11th passed in comparative quiet. On the morning of the 12th the enemy made a very heavy attack on Ewell's front, and broke the line where it was occupied by Johnson's division. At this time and place the scene occurred of which Mississippians are justly proud. Colonel Venable of General Lee's staff states that, on the receipt of one of the messages from General Rodes for more troops, he was sent by General Lee to bring Harris's Mississippi brigade from the extreme right; General Lee met the brigade and rode at its head until under fire, when a round shot passed so near to him that the soldiers invoked him to go back; when he said, If you will promise me to drive those people from our works, I will go back, the brigade shouted the promise, and Colonel Venable says: As the column of Mississippians came up at a double quick an aide-de-camp came up to General Rodes with a message from Ramseur that he could hold
ope that another might be assigned to the command who might do more than I could hope to accomplish. Accordingly, I was so relieved on the 23d of January, by authority of the President. Though, as General Hood states in his book, page 273, I was averse to his going into Tennessee, he might well assume that I was not, as General Beauregard and himself, acquainted with the true condition of the army when they decided on the Tennessee campaign. Of the manner in which he conducted it, Isham G. Harris, the governor of Tennessee, a man of whose judgment, integrity, and manhood I had the highest opinion, wrote to me, on December 25, 1864: . . . I have been with General Hood from the beginning of this campaign, and beg to say, disastrous as it has ended, I am not able to see anything that General Hood has done that he should not, or neglected any thing that he should, have done, . . . and regret to say that, if all had performed their parts as well as he, the results would have been
